    Default The Newb Friendly Thread

    I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in this, but....

    I think it would be nice to have a thread especially for new models. The beginning of a model's camming career is very exciting, but it can be overwhelming. There's a ton of information on this site. The 'starting place for camgirls' is a great thread, and every model should read it. Sometimes, you just have a newb question, and it's frustrating to search for hours to find the answer. Sometimes you just want to introduce yourself.

    This is meant to be a place for that. No question is dumb. No post is unnecessary. Ask, introduce, and share your first impressions here. Fresh perspectives always good. Give 'em to me!

    I dig the idea always nice to have a place that newbies know they can ask anything and be met with a super clear, friendly reply :3

    I always always always use the search function but sometimes it's tiring to go through it all :3

    If you don't want to help the noobs, then don't. I remember a recent thread where it was said that no one would buy a camgirl handbook because they could just come ask sw... Why? To get link bombed and attacked for being curious? I don't mind helping noobs, because sometimes I still feel like a noob. I also don't like being a mean girl. I was a meangirl in my senior year of hs and one of the girls I bullied died in a fire. I will never be mean to someone who doesn't first personally attack me first.

    In my opinion, if you think a thread is stupid, then feel free to read other threads and ignore this one

    At any rate, I've been camming on and off for a little while, but it's not something I've devoted a lot of time to yet, and I want to change that. I want to be more successful! The ladies who have been around for a while have SO much great information and are super helpful, and I really appreciate everything that they share, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to chat or ask questions with other "newbs". It can be nice to talk to other people who are newer and still learning the ropes.

    ^^^ This is the new camgirl thread

    maybe adding to this would liven it up


    This is what is going to happen... this thread will get lost

    If this is moved to the "Starting Place For Cam Girls" then nothing is lost and everything is still in one spot.

    Then we don't have new camgirls starting new threads kwim?



    Certain things are stickied such as this so it does not get lost , new girls do not post everyday and that is why it s stickied to the top of camming connection.

    Go to Camming Connection.. I think its the 3rd one down maybe under the sticky for taxes.

    MissEgo went out of her way to make these threads.

    .. some are not bc they are freshened daily ie STREAMATE

    This is one that is not

    I don't think anyone was being a "mean girl" esp Snowy..esp Snowy.. She gives a lot of input to this forum


    just pointing out the facts of the site.. .. just being helpful to the new girls, that's all. Not being mean.

    Yall can let your guards down.


    Shit changes daily on cam.. sometimes all of us feel like new girls

    ^^^^^^^
    Really? We all had dumb questions when we started. Think about that bb! Yes you r right there is a great starting place for newbies sure. But please never forget that we are all different and at one point we were all newbies. SW is a happy place. Just think about that girl! <3

    I think it's nice to help new performers and most do appreciate it. Camming is not easy and most of these performers have nowhere to turn to for help usually.

    You know when I first came here I used the little chat box and some were rude others were great all in all though they were pretty much nice overall and they linked threads for me and I have read a lot of threads front and back Starting with the sm thread woah lmao. I just know for the most part I get helped or ignored and it's better to ignore these questions then to bring negative unhelpful rude things to people. I personally know a few things I have danced 6 years and cammed 4 months if there is a thing I know it's that sw gets me and many others through a lot of tough things. I asked one question and had read a whole thread once and someone said they weren't going to spoon feed that's fine don't don't answer at all because for that one negative answer I got at least 5 back that answered me and nicely! I think it's a good idea to have this and it's not because I am new it's because if anyone has a question I would give the answer in a heart beat whether they are competition or not because that's what nice people do and the world is full of people needing help and those people are shunned everyday. They may not have anyone. To me being helpful and having a good reputation for helping others goes a long way and good karma will convey. To me I have no competition really because if I am doing what I need to do then I will have custies want just me. When I danced I never worried about others I just did my own thing and acted like I was the best there and I also made the most money there for two years straight! That was every night my dances were always the most. Thank you nice girls and thanks for starting this. I just think if you don't like the thread or the post then no one has to look at it and ones who do want to read it will benefit and be happy .
    Love and peace.

All I wanted was to have a place where we could discuss things without treating new models like crap. *Kicks rocks* I'm looking at the people who were into the idea (mostly new models), and I'm thinking I'm not alone in my wanting that. We couldn't even have this one nice thing.
    Don't be sorry about posting a good idea. Just wanted to let you guys know a "sticky" does exist and this may OR May not get lost, new ones started. You simply have to keep it going.

    My biggest peeve for new models is telling someone to do a search function. WTF IS THAT? First explain to new girls how to search..
    Took me forever to fig out.

    Not knocking your idea at all.... Just wanted to make sure you guys knew it exists
    Ex Snowy created a NEWBIE SM THREAD but it's lost bc everyone goes to the more populated thread. She worked hard.
    Snowy long work is a example of where ppl go first.
    Before ppl bark down throats, check out prev posts, no one was trying to be mean. Most are helpful

    I wanted to throw that factual link since a poster claimed something about mean girls ... No one is mean , EGO started most the main threads for good reason.
    Mainly to get stickies and not lost

    I personally think every thread on SW should be "Newbie friendly". I'm a newbie and I feel like I can jump in on any thread and ask any question and for the most part it will be met with friendly answers. I've had a couple of girls say some harsh things but I keep in mind that they don't know the whole situation and can only formulate an opinion based on the information that I gave them in my post.

    Stripperweb was designed as a place to for strippers to network and share knowledge (I know this because I read the forum rules GO ME) so I would think that translates over to the camgirl part of this forum as well. Why did each of you join? Probably because you had "dumb questions". Ideally, every new girl is going to take a few minutes and search but not all of them will. Also, sometimes it's hard to find specifically what you are looking for. I had a very weird, very strange, issue with the encoder when I first started. Apparently, I was the only one with this issue because I searched through dozens of threads that came up and none answered my questions so I had to ask dumb questions about the encoder.

    I was having a hell of a time making real money. Guys, I was making 20 bucks a week sometimes. If it weren't for stripper web I would have gone in-fucking-sane. Now I'm actually banking $300 a week. No that's not as much as some of y'all make but that number is growing and it's because of all the new girl questions that get asked and answered here.

    I personally am an educator. I have a Masters in higher education. It's my dream to teach at kink cons someday and teach people the ins and outs of BDSM. I love teaching people what I know so maybe that's why it struck me a little wrong when some of you were complaining about spoon feeding the new girls and people asking all their dumb questions.

    Why am I doing porn and camming instead of working a real job you ask? Because unfortunately "real jobs" aren't very kink friendly and I want to be out and open about who I am and I can't make a living at what I want to make a living at by hiding my true self. I have no idea why I felt the need to tell you all of that as it has nothing to do with this thread but anyway I digress... back to my speech.

    Personally, I think if we help new girls as much as we can it's going to improve the camming business. Think about it ladies, what would happen if we managed to decrease the number of models giving it away for free? I think our earnings would go up. If more girls actually learned how to do the job before they got started instead of fumbling around for 6 months like I did everyone would make more money. No, we will never get rid of free loaders, we will never stop girls from showing too much in free but more well educated cam girls means a better working environment for us all!

    What do you think would happen if doctors, or lawyers refused to play the role of teacher and teach those who wanted to become those things? Things wouldn't be so pretty in that environment. No, maybe we can't hold their hand and do all the work for them but that's just it ladies... a professor can give a student all the answers in the world and all the information in the world for a test or a project but if the student doesn't do the work required they will fail.

    Now, if your goal is to see us new girls fail then please, by all means don't share your knowledge with us. However, if you want to see us succeed then share and keep in mind that no matter how much you tell us and how many amazing tips you give us we aren't going to make shit unless we get off our asses and put in the hours of work that are required. Just because I'm getting all my questions answered doesn't mean this suddenly becomes an easy job or that I'm being spoon fed. It means I am an empowered cam girl and I'm going to do it right instead of fumbling around and making cam girls everywhere look bad.

    So yes there should be a newbie friendly thread... how about all the threads! ;-)

    Ok... I'm totally done ranting I'm going to go back to my new girl corner and be the quiet little girl I usually am :-)

    Have a great Sunday girls!

    P.S. Snowy has been one of the more helpful people here and I truly appreciate it!

    ur fine =^Y^= . well now that we have a whole page full of post in this thread about why or why not this thread should be merged or left to die and the general consensus is it should stay how about we all get to the subject now? what kind of info should be in this thread that already isnt in the starting place for cam girls thread ?

    I think it should be a place for new girls and vets but if someone gets rude replies anywhere else maybe come here. No judging or anything! Maybe just to talk?
    Ideas ?

    I like the idea of this thread. I'm not new but I think new girls having a place to talk is good. They just might want to talk about the stress or excitement of being new, and inro themselves. The other adult board I'm on has an intro thread, it also had a beginner area. So i think maybe leave the "Starting Place" thread for resource info, and then maybe see if this thread can be sticky for just newbie discussion, so they can just share even something as simple as "OMG my fist day was awesome/awful".
